U+01BF "ƿ" Latin Letter Wynn is a historical letter used in Old English and early Middle English, derived from the runic character ᚹ to represent the voiced labial-velar approximant sound, like the modern English "w". It was commonly employed in manuscripts before being gradually replaced by the digraph "uu" and ultimately the letter "w" during the Middle English period, and today it appears primarily in philological and paleographic contexts for medieval text reproduction and linguistic study.
